Background

We are looking to introduce a number of new road safety measures that will reduce the speed of vehicles and also aim to address concerns raised by residents in Gallants Farm Road and surrounding area.

We have carried out a feasibility study for this area (including collisions, speed, traffic, site investigations, review of junction layouts). Based on the results of the study, proposals were presented and discussed with ward councillors, and it was agreed to proceed with the proposals that involve the least disturbance for residents.

What we are proposing

We are proposing to introduce the following key traffic safety improvement proposals:

Introduction of a 20-mph speed limit on Gallants Farm Road, and roads in the surrounding area. You can view the proposed list of roads in the document below.
Introduction of raised tables, tightening kerb alignment and tactile facilities at the following junctions with Gallants Farm Road:
- Albemarle Road
- Alverstone Avenue
- Burlington Avenue
- Derwent Avenue
- Russell Lane
- Rushdene Avenue
Introduction of sinusoidal speed humps along the below roads to ensure low speed is effectivity enforced
- Alverstone Avenue
- Avondale Avenue
- Burlington Rise
- Derwent Avenue
- Gallants Farm Road
- Rushdene Avenue
Introduction of no parking and waiting restrictions (Double Yellow Lines) on junctions throughout the area to deter dangerous parking and enhance visibility.
Introduction of tactile paving on junctions along Gallants Farm Road and Alverstone Avenue.
